Time Well Spent
Time is perhaps our most important resource because it is, for each of us, painfully limited. We have to divide it carefully between work, sleep, and play. One thing I have neglected to mention is volunteering.

In life, we are given many challenges, many obstacles to overcome and surpass. Some give us joy while others give us great success. I believe, like most people, that one of the biggest challenges can be how to deal with the pain and aftermath of a broken heart.
Lori BriziusPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow To Make Mornings Easier
Ever since I can remember, I have never been a morning person. Mornings have always been the most difficult part of my day to get through. Even though mornings are difficult, getting into the right routine can make the rest of your day run a lot smoother. Here are a few things I like to do that get me up and productive in the early hours of the day.
HadassahPublished 6 years ago in MotivationIt Gets Better, I Promise
I spent a lot of my time throughout college and the following summer wondering what would happen to all those I considered my friends at college and whether I would see them again after leaving. My simple answer is that I failed to keep in touch with many of them, due to my own insecurities about starting conversations over Facebook or Whatsapp or text. Eventually, I even stopped talking to the people I spoke to every day. It hurt a lot to think I'd lost all those connections.
Danielle PountneyPublished 6 years ago in Motivation"Keep Calm Richard"
While I was out and about recently, I bought a keyring from a gift shop marked with the words "Keep Calm Richard." Obviously, this is a very generic keyring. One of many to use an adaptation of the WWII slogan "Keep Calm and Carry On" with any numbers of names or titles underneath. Given that I have been at a low ebb recently and wrestling with my health, it seemed like something I should get myself as a poignant reminder to relax. The dark green background clinched it for me—being one of my favourite colours.
Richard BrindPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Road
Growing up, I was always one to follow rules. I was taught that if I were to go against what an adult or "superior" told me, I was in the wrong. I morphed into this person that I thought others wanted to see. I have infinite love for my family, as I am so close to them. Which is why I thought what they said was true. I thought that by choosing my actions carefully based on another person's perception of me was critical to succeeding. While doing this I would also never open up and express my true thoughts and feelings. Just the idea of not conforming to what my parents, school, managers, boyfriends, or friends "expected" of me caused anxiety and panic. This person that I was never found healthy relationships of any kind because I was never truly me. I was afraid to show my true face for rejection from the world. I was afraid to tell others how I felt because I feared I would hurt them.

What can I say about life? When you are a little girl and dream about being a grownup, you imagine everything perfect. You have an idea based on the way you are being raised and the example you are receiving from your parents.
Carla BustiosPublished 6 years ago in Motivation10 Inspirational Influencers on Twitter You Should Follow
Inspiration is everywhere; you just have to look for it. And though social media can be toxic, you can also learn to use it to your advantage. If you only allow yourself to view positive, uplifting, and encouraging content, the toxicity of social media cannot affect you.

Enlighten the world like the dawn of every day. And like dawn, be a medium for light to be born. Shower the other with the same affection as if they were your own. Have no exceptions in giving love, for love is the light. Let light be born—become dawn.
Diviesh BPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThoughts on Who I Am
Everyone around me says that I’m either defined by my name, my religion, or even the person I happen to be dating, but I don’t think any of that is true. I don’t think people can be defined by one name or by a god they believe in or their significant other. I think people are defined by what they feel in their heart.

I'm sure you are all aware of the "history" we've been taught in school and the effects it has had on us as kids and teens. When I learned about the holocaust, 9/11, slavery, and just the pure hatred for anyone who was different, it really got to me. I don't believe muslims were responsible for the Twin Towers, and I also think Hitler had a different agenda than we were told. As far as slavery and racism...that's a different story—and here's what I think.

What did that cashier at that retail store do before where they are now? How about that millionaire living in their mansion; what's their story? Well, let me challenge your brain for a moment with a thought of mine and experiences I've encountered. So put that smartphone on silent, pause Netflix, and let me dive into your mind for the next five minutes.Think about this: we walk by and pass hundreds to thousands of people day after day that we come into contact with. Why do they matter, though? Let me ask you this question I want you to ponder through this post. If we never ask about something, how can we ever know? Close your eyes for a moment. No, not literally. What I mean is close your eyes to your mind and just think. Imagine this: you are in a crowded, busy city. You decide to take a rest and stop at nearby bench to sit down at. You take a good look around you and all you see is people. They're all rushing from one location to another. Students going to school, employees going to work, housewives going to the store, and so on. The majority of them don't even bat an eye to one another; they just continue on their way. Most of society doesn't give this a second thought. Myself, though? I want to challenge this view. Think of it this way: each and every person has a name and a story. Their story or journey could be of great trials that they had to overcome to achieve the great prosperous life that they have now, or they could be in a dark pit, struggling, feeling like they are drowning in fear and darkness. Allow me to share an experience I had in the past.
